Product Good, Customer Service Lousy [Posted on 2007-05-09]
I've only used the HV2500 sprayer a couple of times and it worked fine, although I wish the gun was made of metal instead of plastic. My real issue is with Campbell Hausfeld's customer service. The QD (quick disconnect) was missing from my sprayer. Since I needed one immediately, I drove 20 miles to their nearest dealer and shelled out $13.62 from my own pocket for one. Even though my sprayer was now complete, I decided to test CH's customer service - I called their customer service line and explained that my QD was missing and that I needed one ASAP. That was at least 4 weeks ago and I still have no QD (from them). I have followed up with several emails directly to the customer service rep I spoke to and have gotten no response. Because of the lousy customer service, I can't recommend their products.
Good Paint Sprayer/Time Saver [Posted on 2008-03-19]
This paint sprayer worked well for painting trim and doors. It saved a lot of time and the finish is much better than being brushed on.
The only issues I had were finding the right viscosity to use in the paint. It definitely sprays better with a thinner paint. The tip also bacame plugged a couple times with the thicker paints but that is probably common to every sprayer.
I would recommend this product.
Great System - Great price [Posted on 2008-04-16]
I am a professional finish carpenter and I do painting on the side (cabinet work, trim, etc). I have used a variety of HVLP sprayers and this unit, does just fine with all types of finishes when used properly. I have all the needle/nozzle sets (all purpose, thin and thick material) and I have no complaints when spraying various finishes (stains, latex, water/oil based clear-coats). The trick is knowing which tip to use and how to thin the material properly. When done right, this unit certainly gets the job done.
Great product [Posted on 2008-05-23]
Bought this to apply penetrating oil on a redwood fence/deck/trellis. Worked great. Only took a couple hours. Used to take all weekend to roll or brush then wipe off. Longest time was spent prepping with ground cloth etc.
By using a light spray, did not need to wipe off, and it was very clean application with almost no overspray.
I would HIGHLY recommended a respirator and tight fitting goggles. I used a dust mask and became overcome by the fumes. I guess because the material is so atomized it becomes vaporized very quickly.
Kind of loud, but not any worse than any spray apparatus. Also the manual was contradictory about nozzles types (diagram showed one thing, text another).
Hold out for a better HVLP [Posted on 2008-06-15]
I've had this unit for a couple of years now...and in short it's priced fairly. Not too great but not too bad. It got me started with HVLP. It just does not have enough power for shooting any thick (even kinda thick) finish. If you just want to shoot waterborne poly it works fine.
I wanted to shoot paint and oil based poly. For paint, forget it. Even with the heavy needle it just shoots splatter. For oil based poly it can't shoot a smooth even finish. With the heavy needle in it you get orange peel.
It was a good intro machine for me, but I ended up going for the top end
Accuspray on the second go round. Triple the price but you get professional results (why waste your time spraying if you get sub-par results?) and 3M's PPS which makes clean up a breeze. You know it's hard to justify the price for an expensive unit but think how many hours you have into your project. Why risk an average finish on it.
